My main area of expertise is in proofreading and copy-editing academic materials, including dissertations, theses, journal articles and academic books, but I also have experience of editing a range of other materials, including novels, business reports, CVs and magazine articles. I also offer transcribing services and conduct oral history interviews on a freelance basis. I have been working as a freelance proofreader, copy-editor and transcriber since early 2012 and also have several years’ experience of working with academic theses and essays as a tutor in history at the University of Strathclyde and the University of the Highlands and Islands. In addition, I work as a freelance oral historian and undertake a range of training, interviewing and transcription tasks.
I completed my PhD in history in 2012, as part of which I wrote a 100,000 word thesis, and I also have a first class honours degree in Scottish History and English from the University of St Andrews (obtained in 2004) and an MSc (with distinction) in International Tourism Management from the Robert Gordon University (obtained in 2005).
I am trained in proofreading and copy-editing by the Publishing Training Centre and the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, and offer professional quality proofreading and copy-editing services for a wide range of fictional and non-fictional material, including books, journals, reports, newsletters, brochures, posters, press releases, instruction manuals and academic theses.
Any enquiries about services and rates are very welcome and I will respond promptly.
